Thanks for your feedback. We've had so many earthquakes lately. It's pretty scary, but I'm hoping they ward off the big one!

It was very windy when we were in this helicopter. The pilot wanted to know if we wanted to fly between the buildings, but I was too nervous that we'd be blown into a skyscraper. Very exciting excursion!

Yes, we all live with earthquakes here in Los Angeles. I love aerial photography, but don't have the opportunity to do it very often. My editor at Photographic Magazine enjoyed this image as well, and published it a few years ago. Let's hope it doesn't come true!
